Is Brown Bleeding A Side Effect Of Depo Provera?
hi i have been on the depo provera for nearly a year now and i am now experiencing dark brown bleeding, is this a common side effect of the depo injection or is it an early sign of pregnancy, i read that break through bleeding is a sign of early pregnancy and this is getting me worried

Hello,
It could be either, but is more likely just some irregular bleeding from the depo, if you have been getting the shots regularly. Take a pregnancy test to make sure.
